Counseling Philosophy

With warmth and acceptance I welcome you. With what ever you are dealing with I’d like to help.

I am a warm and open Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I am experienced in various areas of mental health care including, depression, anxiety, trauma, obsessive compulsive disorder, phobias and personality disorders. I have also worked with individual’s areas of planning, goal setting and careers. I have a special interest in sex and relationships because when our intimate relationships are having problems this affects other areas of life. I believe the answer is within and it is my job to help uncover and optimize your full potential. We will work together as collaborative partners to work though whatever you are dealing with. Rather than just surviving you can learn to thrive.

In counseling we will work together as a team to develop goals. Depending on your own individual needs I will provide insight, help you weigh options, and cultivate motivation. From time to time we will asses progress and if necessary formulate new goals. Sometimes change happens very quickly but more often change a slow and deliberate process that requires work both in and out of session. As change occurs sometimes uncomfortable feelings may surface. This is a perfectly normal response until you adjust. As you progress you will feel more comfortable as life becomes a more positive experience.

I consider my self eclectic in approach using various scientifically validated modalities according to my training based on individual need.
